+For those of you that have already taken the Vista plunge but are feeling a bit lost in Microsoft's new operating system, [TweekVista][1] may have a few tip and tricks you can use to customize your set up.
+
+TweakVista is similar to [last week's Vista For Beginners][2], but geared more toward advanced users looking to tweak hidden Vista settings and discover time-saving shortcuts. TweakVista also features software reviews and security tips.
+
+Standout articles include some tips on [enabling Vista's built-in firewall][3] and nice trick for [altering the color][4] of your Aero Glass windows. The later tutorial even has a built in tool for converting ARGB colors to the hex string that Vista's registry requires for Aero values. Note that hacking the registry is of course somewhat risky -- YMMV.
+
+There's also a number of handy tips for speeding up Vista including ways to disable the window transparency.
